Brian McCann has been limited to pinch-hitting duties since tweaking his right hamstring on September 12 and Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports that the Braves catcher won’t return to the starting lineup “for at least a couple of more days.”

The good news is that he’s feeling better. The bad news is that McCann explained that “it’s still hard to move laterally” and “it’d be hard to block a ball and it’d be hard to move behind the plate.”

Atlanta has one of the league’s best backup catchers in David Ross, who’s hit .255 with seven homers in 173 plate appearances while posting an OPS above .760 for the fourth consecutive season.

McCann has played 112 games so far this season and his previous career-low was 128 games last year, before which he’d appeared in at least 130 games from 2006-2010.
